But Rick Santorum, a former US Senator from Pennsylvania who is courting conservatives as he weighs a presidential run, came to Massachusetts and did just that today, blaming Kennedy for marginalizing religion in public life and Romney for signing the Massachusetts health care law.

Santorum's criticisms were striking not only because he targeted two of the state's political figures on their home turf --- even criticizing the first Catholic president in a speech to a Catholic group -- but also because he campaigned for Romney in 2008.

And it gets better from there. Later he takes questions on Sharia Law...Irony?

Romney does have the Massachusetts Health care issues to deal with. Quite frankly, I think it was an experiment that we know hasnt worked out well. Unlike Obama who turns around and tries something thats failed at the Federal level, I dont think Romney is that naive.

Santorum himself sounded slightly defeated when asked about it recently.
Its one guy. You know who it is. The Internet allows for this type of vulgarity to circulate. Its unfortunate that we have someone who obviously has some issues. But he has an opportunity to speak, Santorum told Roll Call.

But Roll Call has learned that former staffers consulted technology experts years ago about their options. Ultimately, they found there was little they could do.
You can bury anything on the Internet, said David Urban, a Santorum ally and former chief of staff for former Sen. Arlen Specter (Pa.). But at what financial cost and at what political cost? You can bury a bad story. But how do you bury your own name?

Santorum, meanwhile, suggested a double standard, especially in what appears to be a new era of civility in the wake of the Arizona shootings.
Its just a sad commentary, he told Roll Call. You want to talk about incivility. I dont know of anybody on the left who came to my defense for the incivility with respect to those things.
Urban called on liberal leaders to do just that.
If somebody had a website up that maligned somebody who wasnt a white, Christian, conservative, male, Rachel Maddows head would explode, he said. Wheres Rachel Maddow on this?
